Take the example of an employee currently earning a basic salary of Rs 60,000, such as a Group B gazetted officer:

Current basic pay: Rs 60,000

New basic pay with 1.92 factor: Rs 1,15,200

DA at 55 percent: Rs 63,360

HRA at 27 percent (metro city): Rs 31,104
Total salary = Rs 2,09,664 per month
This shows that someone currently drawing around Rs 1.10 lakh could see their monthly pay nearly double to over Rs 2.10 lakh under the new structure.
